About SoftSIM:
SoftSIM is a 100% software SIM, with no SIM chips required. The network profile is downloaded from the cloud and reuses the already existing microcontroller on IoT devices, which can be either on the modem/radio-module or on the microcontroller running the embedded operating system, allowing the SIM to be stored and executed as pure software. This means that they can continue to do the work they do within trusted environments, e.g. ARM's TrustZone, TPMs (Trusted Platform Module). Find out more about SoftSIM on our SoftSIM product page.
